We are proud to report that CI was named Advisors’ Choice Favourite Investment Fund Company of the Year at the Canadian Investment Awards. The organizers of the Canadian Investment Awards asked advisors to choose their favourite fund company based on quality and range of products, performance, MERs, service, education, community investment and management.

At CI, we believe that it is a distinct honour to be chosen by advisors for this award and we sincerely thank you for your support.

Kim Shannon, Lead Portfolio Manager of CI Canadian Investment Fund, also shared the spotlight after receiving the prestigious Morningstar® Fund Manager of the Year award. The organizers cited her strong 10-year track record managing CI Canadian Investment Fund, which has first-quartile results over the five and 10 years ending October 31, 2005, a five-star rating from Morningstar and exceptionally low volatility. CI Canadian Investment Fund was Canadian Equity Fund of the Year in 2004 and a finalist in the category again this year.

Finally, CI American Value Fund was named U.S. Equity Pooled Fund of the Year. This fund, managed by William Priest and David Pearl of Epoch Investment Partners, Inc., is first quartile over three years.
